That doesn't tally with my anecdotal experience, I see many times more vapers today than 12 months ago ... maybe many tried cigalikes and abandoned vaping without looking further into it?

Wow! I'm surprised at the % of dual-fuellers ... little wonder then that the public perceives vaping and smoking as the same thing.

The agenda in those stats is that it is all about the "quitting".

I didn't start vaping to quit smoking.

I'm a smoker who doesn't smoke.

Vaping has fixed my broken will-power. I don't know whether this means I am cured of an addiction.

At my recent yearly medication review with a nurse, I detected a slight hint of disgust that I still liked to stick things in my mouth and suck.

That's an interesting perspective. So you'd classify yourself as a dual fueller who's only single fuelling at the moment?

Look at it this way - everybody is a potential smoker. The only certain non-smokers are dead.

I'm probably sounding all logical, philisophical and semantical about it whereas in reality I don't really give a fuck and prefer a good laugh.
